The Ultimate Pick-up - Predictions

[Tim]

My top 3 is: doylle, StefanH and flam.
Doylle because of the great texture art. Looks very awesome.
StefanH because his model is really awesome and also the detail, all the objects inside it and all of them so nice textured!
Flam because it is a nice idea and I love the textures, I don't know really why but the it is really a piece for in a game.

Although I like weasel.acu5o 's idea. I think with that bird animated or something it would be very nice ingame.

[Mist]

my top 2 go to StefanH then flam.

Stefans piece may not be all that original but he certainly makes up for it in the shear professional quality of the texture work

flams idea is both nice and interesting and well produced.

I havnt said my 3rd favourite because there are quite a few really good pieces that could go 3rd.

weasels idea was original and I particularly liked the spine and feathers

I cant belive no one has mentioned zeinthar. ok the object is kinda boring but as ammo crates go the texture is pretty decent.

I liked doylle's alot and could see it in a game but it seems too much of a dispencer than a pickup.

reekes concept is good and original and i think the model would be enhanced alot with an animation of the paracite "feeding" a gun with its ammo.

yins texture work is good and this could certainly be used in a deathmatch game such as quake or unreal.

looms bag of apples looks fun and well produced.

there are many others that i liked but i cant mention them all lol

all in all this was a great competition and there were alot of entries and high percentange of them were of a very good quality.

[warape]

doylle: it just looks amazing.
stefanh: cause it looks very real.
rawk77: thats very hardcore.

the ideas of those 3 arent that creative but very good made.

but we are all winners

[WesleyTack]

My 4 favorites are, (not by winning order):

Yin
LOOM
Doylle
StefanH

Who will win I don't know, but I think it should be at least one of these

[StefanH]

my favorites:

1. flam
2. doylle
3. weasel

great concepts but not as good in execution IMHO: mist, reeke, OrganizedChaos

honorable mention: Loom, great entry but a little bit too simple for my taste

[flam]

heh, actually the only one that really stands out is Doofi's cereal box

Weasel - different approach, yummy design
Loom - simple but it works, great texturing
StefanH - well, gotta admit this is pretty damn good piece, quality work.

what else...Zeinthar & Shultz had some good stuff, just a bit too traditional & ordinary perhaps.
also i liked Mist's & Lars' heart-inna-box -designs despite the sloppy textures.

[Talon]

1. Weasel - Original design, stunningly done
2. Yin - Classic and iconic design pulled off with lots of polish.
3. Stefan - Pretty generic idea and design, but it's technically well done.

LOOM and Zenithar for honourable mentions. Both very nicely executed but didn't really catch my attention enough.

[Tiros]

I cant belive no one has mentioned zeinthar. ok the object is kinda boring but as ammo crates go the texture is pretty decent.

Well, thanks Mist ^^

And yes, I guess the concept weren't too great Bt I still don't think the model is all too boring. As there certain details in there making it atleast a bit intresting.

I thought for it to be a ammo-pickup for a al of duty'ish or something kinda game. That way one can't make it all too artistic. But I mean, it would ebe a bit boring if everything were just sci-fi aswell, and I think that a bit too many people went for that theme. It's not a "sci-fi pickup" competition afterall

[Lars]

I got a bit confused in my organisation, my job eats up all my time at the moment, I began the UV and texture on sunday, just a bit before the deadline
Well, I'm not really satisfied with what came out but I finished it

My favourites are: StefanH, Doylle, Flam
great stuff!

I also really like LOOMs entry but the others just got more of my attention

Good luck !

[requiem2d]

Too many nice ones this time round

Top 3:
- doylle (great theme, very CTF)
- Yin (iconic, styled & compact)
- StefanH (diversity of objects, colors and normals)

Honorable Mention:
- LOOM (great way to use the bump & spec)
- flam (authentic feeling and diverse textures)

Will be the most underrated:
- weasel.acuh5o (might actually be my fav, but the heart will throw judges off I feel, very complete & original though)
